Technology<br />
2<br />
<strong>CIKC</strong> has three core technology themes:<br />
– Plastic (opto-) electronics: flexible<br />
displays/electronics and distributed<br />
electronics on rigid substrates at a “low”<br />
temperature budget<br />
– Augmented or additive processing on<br />
active substrates (e.g. liquid crystal on<br />
silicon devices, LCOS)<br />
– Complementary actions such as<br />
photovoltaic or energy storage/batteries<br />
Molecular and macromolecular material<br />
based components are likely to meet a very<br />
large range <strong>of</strong> commercial applications in<br />
displays, lighting, photovoltaics, smart<br />
packaging, smart windows, RFID etc. For<br />
example, solution-based processing <strong>of</strong><br />
polymer semiconductors <strong>of</strong>fers the potential<br />
<strong>of</strong> integrating electronic, optical and photonic<br />
devices into flexible, low-cost plastic<br />
substrates enabling a range <strong>of</strong> innovative<br />
products, and LCOS devices are becoming<br />
the main contenders in the microdisplays<br />
industry.<br />
